AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

Enables quick and intuitive object selection by eliminating the need for extra manipulation steps, improving user interface efficiency and usability compared to conventional methods.

Problems solved by technology

However, the above conventional methods are inconvenient to select an object, because they require three steps.
This three-step selection mechanism takes not only user fatigue, but also relatively more time.

Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a multi-dimensional user interface apparatus that selects an object by sensing a motion of a user and a control method thereof.The user interface apparatus according to the present disclosure includes an eye gaze sensing unit to sense eye positions and eye gaze directions of a user, and a hand shape sensing unit to sense a hand shape of the user, wherein the user interface apparatus calculates a position factor related to a location of an object from the eye positions and the eye gaze directions, calculates at least one conformity factor related to a conformity between the hand shape and the object from the hand shape, and determines the object as a target selected by the user based on the calculated position factor and the at least one conformity factor.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION[0001]This application claims priority to Korean Patent Application No. 10-2014-0005980, filed on Jan. 17, 2014, and all the benefits accruing therefrom under 35 U.S.C. §119, the contents of which in its entirety are herein incorporated by reference.BACKGROUND[0002]1. Field[0003]The disclosure relates to a user interface apparatus and method for controlling the same, and more specifically, to a multi-dimensional user interface apparatus and method that sense a motion of a user to select an object.[0004]2. Description of the Related Art[0005]Recently, with the wide spread of computer-enabled electronic devices such as laptop computers, smart phones, and the like, the methods of recognizing a user command have been diversified: For example, a two-dimensional (2D) selection method using a mouse, a selection method using tracking a user hand motion on a space, or a selection method using a 6 degree-of-freedom (DOF) handheld input device has been pro...
